Hello,
Yes, after much detour and disaster, the Puppyluvr has returned...
It may take a minute to get up to speed, as I basically have not touched a computer in 6 months..But the Puppy bites deep...
PAW needs finishing, even if the reason for its creation has gone...And I`ve missed a few version upgrades...Am I to understand Barry is once again at the helm?...So much catching up to do, but moving calls, and with twin 16 year old girls and a 3 year old son, I am still a busy man..But always room for a little Puppy..
So, yea, here I be...LOL.. I`ll still be off and on for a few days, lots of (re)setting up to do...Be back to annoy y`all later...

A wise man once said....nothing...

Hello,
puppyiso, did you check the md5sum of your D/L..
It should be :
ae70ff099b7a30021a916d98d4e1c3cf PAW_RC-2.iso

That matches this ISO from the link in my sig..
http://puppylinux.ca/members/Puppyluvr/PAW_RC-2.iso

PAW has extensive Video and Wireless drivers, and has always worked fine for me...
Maybe if you turn off compositing...(see first page of this thread) xorg will work for you..
Getting xorg up and running should remove a lot of your issues, I think...
What Video card have you got???_________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

Hello John,
Well Im certain its not xorg..PAW was designed around my ex-wifes Dell with the 945 chipset..
I think its wings...Try this in a terminal:
exec /root/wings-0.99.04a/wings &
and tell me what you get...

Edit: well I was wrong...Wings needs GL which the xvesa on PAW dont have, so we gotta get xorg up and running..

Type "lsmod" (without the quotes) into a terminal and see if the i945 module is loaded, and we`ll go from there...

Edit 2: Well, Im dumbfounded...I modprobed i945 and it isnt there...But my ex runs it daily, on the Dell I built it on, and it has the i945 chipset...Hmmmm...Must have lost it when I swapped things to my ATI laptop.....Let me locate the module and Ill post a link.....Definately a must for RC-3....
Well I looked here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=14690

and found this:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=2973

and this:
http://upload2.net/page/download/vAKxBm1V0GIbJ2u/945gm-stuff.tar.bz2.html

The thread has info on how to enable gl/dri on the i945..
But PAW was built on 4.12 on a Dell with that very card, maybe using the i810 driver IDK..
MAN, now I gotta talk to my ex...
I will get back...._________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

Hi tubeguy, maybe next time save your screenshot as jpg and it should be reduced in size by a lot, 1.46MB is very large for a screenshot, many dialup users use puppy:)
below is your image as jpg, But I cheated I used gimp to compress it even further

Hello,
Well, here is where RC-3 is at so far:
Disabled screensaver on startup..(what was I thinking)
Updated Firefox to 3.0.18, may go to 3.6, still testing..
Added Abiword and Geany
Removed Wine to a seperate SFS and added:
Bryce 3-D and Utorrent..
Fixed menus
Added wallpapers..(Thx tubeguy)

in the works...
Swapping PupTv for PVidstreamer (Its what I intended PupTv to be anyhow..LOL )
Lots of housekeeping, hoping to shrink it to <300mb

Figuring out where the video card drivers are for i935/945 chips...
I know they were there, I built 50% of it on a i945 Dell...IDK..Catdude is right, twilight zone.
Implementing any possible user suggestions...(hint hint)...
